Sephy的方法不管用。可以使用上述方法覆盖选项菜单项文本外观，但不能覆盖项或菜单。要做到这一点，基本上有3种方法:

如何更改选项菜单的背景颜色? 写你自己的视图来显示和覆盖onCreateOptionsMenu和onPrepareOptionsMenu来获得你想要的结果。我之所以笼统地说明这一点，是因为您通常可以在这些方法中做任何您想做的事情，但您可能不想调用super()。 从开源SDK复制代码，并自定义您的行为。Activity使用的默认菜单实现将不再适用。

参见第4441期:自定义选项菜单主题了解更多线索。

我的情况是在选项菜单中设置文本颜色(主应用程序菜单显示在菜单按钮按下)。

在API 16中测试，使用AppCompat -v7-27.0.2库，MainActivity的AppCompat活动和AndroidManifest.xml应用程序的AppCompat主题。

styles.xml:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
  <item name="actionBarPopupTheme">@style/PopupTheme</item>
</style>

<style name="PopupTheme" parent="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
  <item name="android:textColorSecondary">#f00</item>
</style>

不知道textColorSecondary是否影响其他元素，但它控制菜单文本的颜色。

我搜索了一些关于这个主题的示例，但所有现成的代码片段都不起作用。

所以我想用appcompat-v7库的源代码(特别是.aar包的res文件夹)来研究它。

不过在我的例子中，我使用了带有爆炸性.aar依赖项的Eclipse。因此，我可以更改默认样式并检查结果。不知道如何爆炸库与Gradle或Android Studio直接使用。它值得进行另一项调查。

所以我的目的是找到res/values/values.xml文件中用于菜单文本的颜色(我几乎确定颜色在那里)。

I opened that file, then duplicated all colors, put them below the default ones to override them and assigned #f00 value to all of them. Start the app. Many elements had red background or text color. And the menu items too. That was what I needed. Removing my added colors by blocks of 5-10 lines I ended with the secondary_text_default_material_light color item. Searching that name in the files within the res folder (or better within res/colors) I found only one occurrence in the color/abc_secondary_text_material_light.xml file (I used Sublime Text for these operations so it's easier to find thing I need). Back to the values.xml 8 usages were found for the @color/abc_secondary_text_material_light. It was a Light theme so 4 left in 2 themes: Base.ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light and Platform.AppCompat.Light. The first theme was a child of the second one so there were only 2 attributes with that color resource: android:textColorSecondary and android:textColorTertiaryin the Base.ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light. Changing their values directly in the values.xml and running the app I found that the final correct attribute was android:textColorSecondary. Next I needed a theme or another attribute so I could change it in my app's style.xml (because my theme had as the parent the Theme.AppCompat.Light and not the ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light). I searched in the same file for the Base.ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light. It had a child ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light. Searching for the ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light I found its usage in the Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar theme as the actionBarPopupTheme attribute value. My app's theme Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar was a child of the found Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar so I could use that attribute in my styles.xml without problems. As it's seen in the example code above I created a child theme from the mentioned ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light and changed the android:textColorSecondary attribute.

试试这段代码....

 @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
         inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);

        getLayoutInflater().setFactory(new Factory() {
            @Override
            public View onCreateView(String name, Context context,
                    AttributeSet attrs) {

                if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("com.android.internal.view.menu.IconMenuItemView")) {
                    try {
                        LayoutInflater f = getLayoutInflater();
                        final View view = f.createView(name, null, attrs);

                        new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
                            public void run() {

                                // set the background drawable
                                 view.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.my_ac_menu_background);

                                // set the text color
                                ((TextView) view).setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
                            }
                        });
                        return view;
                    } catch (InflateException e) {
                    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
                    }
                }
                return null;
            }
        });
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }

如果你正在使用新的工具栏，主题为theme . appcompat . light。NoActionBar，你可以用下面的方式设置它的样式。

 <style name="ToolbarTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/my_color1</item>
    <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/my_color2</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/my_color3</item>
 </style>`

根据我得到的结果， textColorPrimary是显示你的活动名称的文本颜色，这是工具栏的主要文本。 textColorSecondary是字幕和更多选项(3点)按钮的文本颜色。(是的，它根据这个属性改变了它的颜色!) textColor是包括菜单在内的所有其他文本的颜色。 最后将主题设置为工具栏

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    app:theme="@style/ToolbarTheme"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"/>

Options menu in android can be customized to set the background or change the text appearance. The background and text color in the menu couldn’t be changed using themes and styles. The android source code (data\res\layout\icon_menu_item_layout.xml)uses a custom item of class “com.android.internal.view.menu.IconMenuItem”View for the menu layout. We can make changes in the above class to customize the menu. To achieve the same, use LayoutInflater factory class and set the background and text color for the view.

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);
    getLayoutInflater().setFactory(new Factory() {
        @Override
        public View onCreateView(String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
            if (name .equalsIgnoreCase(“com.android.internal.view.menu.IconMenuItemView”)) {
                try{
                    LayoutInflater f = getLayoutInflater();
                    final View view = f.createView(name, null, attrs);
                    new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                            // set the background drawable
                            view .setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.my_ac_menu_background);

                            // set the text color
                            ((TextView) view).setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
                        }
                    });
                    return view;
                } catch (InflateException e) {
                    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {}
            }
            return null;
        }
    });
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.search, menu);


    MenuItem myActionMenuItem = menu.findItem( R.id.action_search);
    SearchView searchView = (SearchView) myActionMenuItem.getActionView();

    EditText searchEditText = (EditText) searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text);
    searchEditText.setTextColor(Color.WHITE); //You color here
